[Verse]
E F#sus4/E
Just in a simple conversation, you can hear the feeling change,
Em7 A/E E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Like a river running down, down to the sea
E F#sus4/E
And if you need an explanation, I defy you to explain,
Em7 A/E E Esus4 E
But something's not the same, and it's bothering me
[Bridge]
Esus4 A E
I think I see where I went wrong
E A E Bsus4
I think I see what's going on
[Chorus]
E** Bsus4 A/E E Bsus4 A/E
Meanwhile and far away as the night draws in
A B A B
He's holding her right now, I can feel it all begin
E B A B E B A/E
Meanwhile and far away when the day is done
A B A B
I ride away my friend, into the setting sun
B E Em7 A/E
And the river's running down
A/E E E
Down to the sea

[Verse]
E F#sus4/E
I let love slip right through my fingers, and I watched it drift away
Em7 A/E E Esus4 E Esus4 E
But still I had to say what was written for me
E F#sus4/E
I thought I'd end up as the hero, thought the glory would be mine
Em7 A/E E
Very soon I was to find it wasn't to be
[Bridge]
E A E
‘Cos in this part I've got to play
E A E B
It doesn't quite turn out that wa-a-ay
[Chorus]
E Bsus4 A/E E Bsus4 A/E
Meanwhile and far away as the night draws in
A B A B
He's holding her right now, I can feel it all begin
